 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Only myself to defend


There is no walking back from the places I've been
now that I know of hell
after all that I've seen…

It is to late to close my eyes and not witness the pain
the horror trapped inside my mind
of all those faces slain…

I cry out into darkness but only the silence will hear
I have long ago scattered
all those I hold dear…

Now the sun is fast setting and my day will soon end
with only darkness to follow
… only myself to defend.
